7 Shew thy marvellous loving-kindness, thou that art the Saviour of them which put their trust in thee: from such as resist thy right hand.
8 Keep me as the apple of an eye: hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 From the ungodly that trouble me: mine enemies compass me round about to take away my soul.
10 They are inclosed in their own fat: and their mouth speaketh proud things.
11 They lie waiting in our way on every side: turning their eyes down to the ground;
12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey: and as it were a lion's whelp, lurking in secret places.
13 Up, Lord, disappoint him, and cast him down: deliver my soul from the ungodly, which is a sword of thine;
14 From the men of thy hand, O Lord, from the men, I say, and from the evil world: which have their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.
15 They have children at their desire: and leave the rest of their substance for their babes.
16 But as for me, I will behold thy presence in righteousness: and when I awake up after thy likeness, I shall be satisfied with it.
